Yeah, that's probably the best they can do. It puts a time limit on the problem without harming the animals. Good for them.

I mean, yeah, but that also sounds like an explanation old timey guys might give to other guys as an explanation for why they don't hit women back when hitting women was still acceptable. And old folks aren't the best at noticing the culture has moved on.

I don't know how things were in New Zealand, but in the 1950s America had Lucy getting spanked on tv. This was probably being shown on NZ tv when the wizard was a kid.


"I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman- although I don’t recommend doing it in the same way that you’d hit a man. An open-handed slap is justified if all other alternatives fail.” – Sean Connery, 1965.

“If you have tried everything else – and women are pretty good at this – they can’t leave it alone. They want to have the last word and you give them the last word, but they’re not happy with the last word. They want to say it again, and get into a really provocative situation, then I think it’s absolutely right.” – Sean Connery, 1987

Sean Connery didn't get around to the view that hitting women was wrong until 2006, after decades of people calling him on it.

So a guy saying he won't hit women ever is an improvement over some of his peers, even if he gives a dumb reason for it.

Advances like this are cool. Is great that we live in a society that moves, even if is at a glacial pace. Some day it will be even possible for us introverts to say "gently caress you and leave me alone" to all the places where human interaction is forced on us.

The only advancement I care about in this direction is that if I'm eating at a restaurant and clearly watching TV on my phone with very obvious headphones on, maybe don't come bother me about if I am liking my food while my mouth is full of said food. If there's a problem I'll flag you down, otherwise gently caress off I'm eating and watching TV :colbert: I know it's not the waitstaffs fault.

Maybe you (who received the broken nose) informed him of the tragic nature of that color combination. (No issues with pink, but that pink and shiny black doesn't work with that beard/hair/face color.)

You're right. But even beside that, they couldn't have gotten it more wrong. The shirt should be pink and the jacket black. They both look shiny and one of them should be matte. The point of a pocket square is to introduce a different color to the outfit, not one of the same! It should be gold or white or a pattern. And he should NOT be wearing a thin kilt that visibly reveals his erection (cropped out in this photo, but I was there.)

Same. Even aside from potentially having meat with a lower carbon impact, they could grow meats they couldn't otherwise sell, like endangered animals. Or people. There could one day be a service where you send them a DNA sample and they make cuts of your own meat. Would you eat yourself? I would.

Yeah there have been a lot of similar things. From the article,

quote:

In the 1960s, chimpanzee kidneys were transplanted into a small number of human patients. Most died shortly afterward; the longest a patient lived was nine months. In 1983, a baboon heart was transplanted into an infant girl known as Baby Faye. She died 20 days later.

Pigs offered advantages over primates for organ procurement — they are easier to raise, reach maturation faster, and achieve adult human size in six months. Pig heart valves are routinely transplanted into humans, and some patients with diabetes have received pig pancreas cells. Pig skin has also been used as temporary grafts for burn patients.

The combination of two new technologies — gene editing and cloning — has yielded genetically altered pig organs. Pig hearts and kidneys have been transplanted successfully into monkeys and baboons, but safety concerns precluded their use in humans.

It's the first time for this particular combination of things.

Right? I can't wait to buy a cut of lab meat and then tell everyone about it, even if it'll definitely be overpriced at first. There's a huge untapped demographic of vaguely eco nerds that would flock to this

It's good because you can get an organ to adult human size in just 6 months. Way faster than any large primate. How does that affect longevity though? Google says domestic pigs can live 15-20 years. Do pig organs wear out faster than human organs?

I guess it doesn't really matter. Having to get a new pig kidney every 15 years is better than not getting a kidney at all.
